Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine warm water with sugar and active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and Italian herbs until well combined.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients, followed by olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough, roll it into a rectangle, and shape as desired.
- Brush the top with olive oil, add mozzarella, Parmesan, and extra herbs, then press gently.
- Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake the loaf for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before slicing.
